Oh cool, I’ll have to look for it - I know basically nothing about P/OS so I 
hope it comes with an install guide..

This is DEC. There were whole manuals on P/OS as well. I don't know if they are online anywhere. I have paper copies...

But installation is pretty much just insert floppy, and select installation from the menu. P/OS is all menu driven.

The floppies can be found at Update. However, they are in teledisk format. I should have them as just image dumps somewhere as well...

Wait you can get DECnet running on this?

Yes. Of course.

How? :)

You just install it. P/OS DECnet is out there. It can use the ethernet (not 
implemented in Homer), or serial port (asynch. DDCMP). Not sure if Homer have 
the support for the serial port option. If not, then you'll essentially have 
DECnet, but no links to communicate with anything else.

This all assuming you are running P/OS. If you run something else, then I can't 
really comment.

The Pro emulator? It gives you the Pro graphic subsystem. P/OS includes 
emulating a VT220 with some limitations. And you have DECnet...
However, no telnet. Neither in, nor out. You could possibly emulate the serial 
ports of the Pro, and connect them to some telnet server, like other Simh 
emulations. However, if that would be useful depends on whether any software on 
the Pro would allow the usage of the serial ports in that way to log in.

I think P/OS could support users logging in on the serial ports, but I'm not 
entirely sure. Other operating systems I have no idea...

And before anyone asks, no, my TCP/IP will not run under P/OS. It's because 
P/OS do not support split I/D space, even when you had hardware that could do 
it.

Is there any way  of turning this into a terminal via say some kind of

Does the software bundle include a terminal emulator?

I’d totally use this for connecting to VMS systems etc..
